Big Run Golf Club

There are over hanging trees everywhere. Even if you were in the fairway on either side there were hanging tree limbs blocking you. The green designs are horrible. ... they slope up hill then down,it's almost impossible to keep your ball on the green in most holes. Also they booked a wedding party of 10 ahead of us so we tee's off 30 minutes late. At one point all 10 guys were on the green trying to putt and laughing and joking and not playing. The experience was horrible, it took us almost 6 hours to play.

As always, the cause record is safe. Undoubtedly on e of the most challenging courses in the area.

And someone made the greenskeeper bad, judging by the pin placements on 11 and 18.

Its not often that one can take advantage of being able to play golf in February in Chicago. The day was a bit overcast but the course was in good shape considering this time of year. Definitely going to go back in the spring and summer this year.

Good day, pace of play, great staff, course in great shape

I was really surprised that the course changed me an extra 10.00 for the cart. I thought the cart was included with my quoted price through Golf Now. Course if very difficult and found the conditions tough with the windy conditions. If you are a pro golfer, then this course if for you.

Great challanging layout. Tee boxes were beat up and bunkers need sand but what do you expect for bonus November Chicago golf.

Kind of like the perfect storm. Played the previous Sunday and colors were spectacular. On 11/10 however, the wind kicked up and all the leaves wee a flying. There was no way the staff could have possibly kept up w the pace of leaves falling. You could hit the ball in the middle of the fairway and still have less than a 50/505 chance of finding your ball. The course, is a must for anyone looking for one of the most challenging public course in the SW Suburbs, maybe The Most!

I love this course! Especially with a deal for so cheap. I would play this course for double what I paid...

Awesome deal for this course. We luckily got a Hot Deal through GolfNow

Course is great. Unfortunately it played at a snail pace of 3 hours on the back nine. A couple of really slow groups drinking heavy and screwing around in front of us.

Office folks are really friendly and run a tight ship which generally keeps play moving. As with any course, when twosomes get forced together by the golf course, play can dramatically slow. I always think it helps play to have a twosome intermixed among the foursomes at a 1 to 4 ratio, especially if that is how the customers picked their times. That ratio really helps the course move on busy days. There are not a lot of "freebies" on this course... you have to hit long and straight in order to obtain a good score on this challenging course. Despite its immense size, course is very well maintained.

I played this course 2 months ago and the course was in great condition then. However, the recent stormy weather has resulted in some water damages in the low lying holes. It took 5 hours to finish the round.

We booked our round through GolfNow 'Hot Deal' for less than half the usual rate. Maybe that was why our twosome was paired with another twosome. Even though every group in front and behind us were twosomes.. Whatever, we had a great time, met two very nice gentlemen and finished in 3 hours 40 min.

This is a challenging course. I find it a good test of how I am really playing. I played pretty early in the am as a single. Lost two balls in the rough that I am sure I would have found with more eyes but note to self, stay out of the rough. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. Good mix of interesting holes. Quite a few long/uphill carries.

Par 5's are brutal. Plays longer than listed yardage since many greens are elevated. Several holes are very narrow. Well bunkered. Pay attemtion to the slope on this course and chose the correct tees or you will be in for a lot of pain.

Me and my colleague were traveling for work and found ourselves with some time in the late afternoon. Instead of heading to the hotel we started looking for a place to play nine holes of golf. We stumbled on to Big Run what positive experience. Now this is not Harbor Town however, the staff was second to no where the course was challenging and in good shape. I can truly say Bill the pro and his team made you feel like you were at your home course.

Thanks Bill and the BIg Run team

Teed off at 4:30 and the back nine was still backed up.

For such a great course, the pace of play needs to be increased. A ranger would help this.

This is a great course but the slow pace makes downgrades the experience significantly.
